Is this light suitable for outside use?

It is IP65 rated so should be suitable for outside use, but it is under the "Indoor Lighting > LED Wall & Step Lights" section of TLC's site and the manual says: "IP65 Rated suitable for restricted external applications".

What is meant by restricted?

I don't really know but would think it refers to it being IP65 and not higher.

Resists most water but not that from a hose directed at the light

What is meant by restricted?

That some outdoor environments require greater than IP65, so they can't give a blanket "suitable for outside use".

BTW - "Installation is quick and easy, with no wall channelling required!" - that'll look naff.

I have two of these installed on my front steps and 6 of the letterbox type in the back garden, well constructed and decent lumen output for the price! I was able to bring the cables in from the rear of the fittings so there are no cables on show.

Yes they are fine for outdoor use, i can get you some pics later if you want?

I like (not a lot) the way they refer to an isolation switch and then show a single pole switch.

The same as BS7671, you mean?
